FRANCHISE
OSCAR PET FOODS

OSCAR PET FOODS

We’re a family business that started life making good honest pet food for working dogs and supermarkets. It was a fantastic start with formulations for Sainsbury’s and Linda McCartney. How-ever, we found that customers had little guidance on what to feed their pets. Choosing the right food was a minefield and the level of service seemed non-existent. Getting it right was so im-portant because, just like humans, pets 'are what they eat'. We have always believed that when it comes to nutrition it's too im-portant to settle for second best. In 1993, we took matters into our own hands and the first OSCAR franchise was established. The Complete Pet Care Service was born and since then OSCAR has kept a firm focus on the developments in pet food manufacturing, while devoting time to its growing franchise net-work.

ABOUT US

 

Experts in Pet Nutrition
We discovered that a local OSCAR Nutritional Advisor is the best person to give friendly, expert advice. Whether the pet is fat or thin, young or old, healthy, has allergies or is generally tearing the place apart, OSCAR can help. Our aim is to make life easier for pet owners across the UK.


Repeat Business
OSCAR customers are delighted with our service and remain loyal, often referring friends and family.


Be Your Own Boss
Our unique business system continues to build on years of suc-cess, offering individuals the freedom to run their own business and benefit from a lifestyle dedicated to working with pets to de-liver a happier, healthier and longer life.


Free Home Delivery
Convenience defines the unique OSCAR opportunity. Our friendly customer service includes free home delivery, a free meal (sampled in the home), a quality competitive brand (no middle man) as well as nutritional and behavioural advice. It's what makes our tried and tested formula a winner.


Success Breeds Success
With a wealth of experience in the OSCAR network we are con-tinually improving the system. One of our first ideas was to offer a Freephone Helpline to ensure that every
OSCAR pet had a personal Nutritional Advisor to assist with the right diet - and that was only the beginning....


An Oscar franchise is a cash business with a positive cash flow - credit card facilities to ensure immediate payment and low stock value with quick turnaround.


Running costs:
• Low working from home and a van, while managing a concen-trated area.
• £8,000 to £12,000 + VAT total running costs per annum.
• £25,000 + VAT sales to break even, achievable in nine months.
• £60,000 + VAT sales to cover overheads and basic living costs.
• 25% to 30% net profit before tax on sales with an established business.


To sustain margins up to 40% on sales including VAT = 67% mark up. There is the purchasing power of a growing Franchise Network and working direct with the manufacturer, no middle-man. Oscar has a unique brand in an exclusive territory.

TRAINING AND SUPPORT

TRAINING AND SUPPORT
There is an effective training programme to encourage a positive and determined attitude, which will help each franchisee reach profitability and personal success.
Training is divided into modules, starting at Head Office and fol-lowed by on-going support in the purchased area. Every new franchisee, as part of their training package, learns all aspects of nutrition - backed by an Oscar trainer, a team of experts in nutri-tional, behavioural and veterinary concerns.
Managed from the Head Office in Preston, Oscar is a full mem-ber of the British Franchise Association, The Pet Food Manufac-turers’ Association and holder of the Investors in People award.
